About this listen
The Message of the Prophets: Audio Lectures features 27 lessons, offering a scholarly yet student-friendly survey of the Old Testament prophetic literature that presents the message of each prophet in its historical and biblical context and then tracks that message through the New Testament to challenge listeners with what it means for them today. Old Testament scholar J. Daniel Hays focuses on synthesizing the message of the prophets, which enables students to grasp the major contours of the prophetic books clearly and concisely. After identifying what the message meant for ancient Israel, Hays helps viewers move toward application today, enabling students to gain a better understanding of God and the relationship between God and his people.
Focused on the most significant topics and discussions in the textbook, The Message of the Prophets is designed with the learner in mind. Each lecture is approximately 20 minutes. These lectures are an indispensable resource for students and independent learners alike.

In this comprehensive exposition, a leading New Testament scholar explores the unfolding theological unity of the entire Bible from the vantage point of the New Testament. G. K. Beale, coeditor of the award-winning Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament, examines how the New Testament storyline relates to and develops the Old Testament storyline. Beale argues that every major concept of the New Testament is a development of a concept from the Old and is to be understood as a facet of the inauguration of the latter-day new creation and kingdom.

Story
At various points in Israel's history, God dwelt in specific, significant places, most notably in the tabernacle and the temple. These structures, meticulously planned, extravagantly furnished, and regularly frequented by the devout, were more than just places of worship and sacrifice. They were pictures of God's relationship with his chosen people and of the atoning work that would be done by the Messiah. To understand the tabernacle and the temple, then, is to understand how we are brought into God's family through the sacrifice of his only son, Jesus.

Story
The book of Ezekiel contains some of the most incredible prophecies in the Bible, including detailed description of a nuclear war and the cleanup afterward. Ezekiel ministered to a nation experiencing judgment for its sins, and may have some lessons for us today. Ezekiel's name means "God strengthens, or God will strengthen". Ezekiel is one of the three that were called Captivity Prophets (the other two are Jeremiah and Daniel). Ezekiel never mentions Jeremiah in his writings, but he does mention Daniel three times.

Story
A method of interpretation—a hermeneutic—is indispensable for understanding Scripture, constructing theology, and living the Christian life, but most contemporary hermeneutical systems fail to acknowledge the principles and practices of the biblical writers themselves. Christians today cannot employ a truly biblical view of the Bible unless they understand why the prophets and apostles interpreted Scripture the way they did.

During Jeremiah's 40 years of ministry, he never received a hint of gratitude. As one of the most important of the "Major Prophets", Jeremiah is a rich, rewarding study. It is full of surprises, deeply touching episodes, and extremely moving tale. It is also, in many ways, profoundly timely for us today.

Story
Revelation is a lens that puts the entire Bible into focus. The lens is focused on the person of Jesus Christ, and his destiny is imminent. This is a book of victory: We are overcomers! We are the ultimate winners in the game of life! (I read the ending: We win!) One of the reasons this book strikes us as strange is because of our lack of understanding concerning the Old Testament. The Book of Revelation consists of 404 verses that contain over 800 allusions to the Old Testament. These are detailed, along with Chuck's analysis of the design and structure of this fascinating book.

Story
In Typology—Understanding the Bible's Promise-Shaped Patterns, author James M. Hamilton Jr. shows that the similarities we find in the Bible are based on genuine historical correspondence and demonstrates how we recognize them in the repetition of words and phrases, the parallels between patterns of events, and key thematic equivalences. When understood in light of God's promises, these historical correspondences spotlight further repetitions that snowball on one another to build escalating significance.

Story
Hebrews speaks of a new and better covenant. It links old priesthoods to the priesthood of Christ. It looks at the nature and heroes of faith. In short, Hebrews roams a broad theological landscape, but its unifying premise remains: God speaks, and if we listen, his message to us revealed through Jesus will change and shape the lives we live. This was true for the original audience of Hebrews; it remains true for us today. In thought and deed, the word of God is the word we live by as believers.

Hays' has an infectious enthusiasm that makes every chapter beam with energy and it makes listening to the chapters more engaging than I've ever experienced. For such an academic topic, it more felt refreshing to listen than I originally expected.

Great For What It Is
These lectures are exceptionally well-organized and packed with content. They track along with the book and serve as a good companion to the read.
For anyone looking to get a full, canonically-connected introduction and overview of the prophetic books of the Hebrew Bible from a Christian perspective, I can’t think of a better source. J. Daniel Hays’s presentation is clear, thorough, and compelling.

What a wonderful overview!!!
The prophets can be so hard to follow or understand. These lectures greatly help to identify the setting of each prophetic writing and to clarify the audience and imagery used. I will definitely listen to this again and again. I also look forward to reading the physical book very soon to help cement the wonderful things I’ve learned in my mind.
